Disputatio:Terry Nation
Name?[fontem recensere]
If we are into latinising forenames, is not Theodoricus the proper form?
- Terentius. --Iustinus 17:10, 4 Ianuarii 2009 (UTC)
- Only if assuming Terry is short for Terence! If it is a name in its own right, it is cognatye with French Thierry which is from Theodoricus not Terentius, puto te inventurum esse
- Terry = Thierry is not something I would have thought of. But it seems to be repeated in other sources. --Iustinus 02:51, 5 Ianuarii 2009 (UTC)
- Depends what sources, maybe. The people who write books about first names are not bound by verifiability constraints, so they are not reliable sources (I think). I would have said we need evidence that someone before us, writing Latin, has converted Terry to Theodoricus. Otherwise, he should stay at Terry.
